North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has apologised after the fatal shooting of a South Korean fisheries official by the military earlier this week, Yonhap news agency reported on Friday, citing the presidential office.
In a formal letter sent to Seoul, the North conveyed Kim’s message that he felt “very sorry” for “disappointing” South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Moon is facing intense political pressure over the incident, which coincided with a renewed push for policy to engage Pyongyang.
Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from the capital, Seoul.

Israel north Korea accepting by world
why do you want to deflect to North Korea
This way happens sometimes too. Some have family in the north or have fled from the north themselves. Many who fled cant cope with the totally different society in the south and feel like outcasts so they want to go back.
Kim Jong Un is dead or seriously disabled. This imposter’s face, and especially his teeth, are very different from Kim.
Samykoolaa…thakuduvava…
Total BS 😒
Bruh this is weird, we have a dictator being honest and apologizing for a mistake while the leader of the free world lies and doesn’t admit he makes (or has any) mistakes
1 down. About a thousand more to go.
Kim: ‘I aplogise for stealing MC Hammer’s trousers’.
kim 🐖
Bwahahahaha!!😂
US : VERSION OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN.
i think he is dead and it his sister who are reading the letter and are rollen north korea under his name and are waiting for the good time to say he is dead
Omg not now kim. Pls
WAIT a minutre A south korean officer wanted out of south Korea and was heading to north korea!!
Wasn’t it always the other way around!
These are the mental effects the pandemic is creating.
Look up James Dresnok on youtube. An american who defected to DPRK with other americas. He became a film star in north korea and has a family there. His children are captains in the DPRK People’s Army
@Michael Hernandez so what 🐕
lies by the cia and sk
His mission was to take Covid-19 to North Korea 🇰🇵
i had to read the title twice out of disbelief *sursprised pikachu*
2020? 🙂
When will islamic state of Qatar apologise for the thousands of innocent people killed in islamic terrorist attack, sponsored by Qatar, every year around the world.
Ask Israel, America and nat0
So he’s not dead then YouTube 🤣
that south korean officer is dead
Ok why would anyone defect to North Korea 😳
Criminals or jobless guys because North Korea feeds its citizens for free.
N.Korea’s stance always changes their convenience. So sometimes hardliner and sometimes soft stance.
President Mun worries his achievement if he can make process to unite Korea. So he always flutters to N.Korea. He’s not liberal but populist politician.
At least he has the moral courage to apologise on behalf of his security personals mistake.
Have you ever heard Donald Trump apologising for American police murdering unarmed black civilians.
Defect to the north? Why?
Media should go back to being
Non-Bias…
It shows he is Human to acknowledge a mistake made.
I hope they can find peace.
Kim play too much
So He is finally sorry about it.
Defect…. TO THE NORTH!?
“As a precaution against covid 19” 😷😷 I’m sorry for seeing the humour in that classic quote. I’m such a sick puppy.
Thats exactly what I was laughing at right now
He apologise lol I bet Russia, USA or China paid him 😆 dictoter feeling sorry that well be the day.
The _”Banana Republic of Trumpistan”,_ kills Women and Children! “Brown ones” especially, as an _Example_ to Others!
North and South need to unite. They’re all Koreans.
Yes Kim Jon should annex South Korea to unite 😂😂😂
No, Kim Jon and Jae-in should discuss uniting the country.
@Biff B. why,may I ask? North side taking care of its territory while South side taking care of its territory over there!! Won’t it be great?
@Waleed Khalid Shaikh which means that Peninsula Korea to be ruled by the Communist, is that what u just said.?
@karrien lim because too many ethnic groups of the same ethnicity are fighting each other. Africa, North and South Korea, the U.S. etc etc are all fighting each other. It’s sad. It seems like you approve of such conflicts. How come?
Korea needs unify, they need the fatty out of the picture along with potential heirs. Democracies are always so terrified of breaking the status quo that’s why Korea will never unify unless a miracle happens.
South and North need to stop arguing they could really help each other
They killed unarmed civilian. Of course they should apologize.
I wana apologize to!!!!!!!!……. For holding back my feelings for you all this time never telling you how much im in love with you always thinking about you though we are oceans apart!!!! I would travel a thousand seas a thousand times just to hold you in my arms i am ready now!!!!!!!!!! My number is 505 587 9173 call me or text me my love plzzzzzzzzzzzx
He just likes to hold hands and walk over a tiny wall to cheering crowds like he’s crossing the line at an Olympic event
I don’t know what’s more shocking: that someone would want to move to North Korea or Kim Jong-Un apologizing.
0:36 That’s the kind of wall we need!!!
But no apology for Otto Warmbier
Kim Jung Oh have a forgiven by Sokor
The president of South Korea can’t get a phone call or a “beautiful” letter from Un like President Coronavirus claims. But sends out a spokesperson and doesn’t show his face?
You’re “very sorry!!??” Well then….Im glad you learned your lesson. *frowny face* (>~>)
Kim did not apologize for Otto Warmbier did he?
Do something about it Moon. The most basic right you need to defend.
Oh wait, you are all talk and a known coward.
Just to remind you Moon clown, a South Korean citizen has been murdered.
Once upon a time in North Korea….
I thought Kim was in a coma.
Kim: I’m Sorry
you want a free 0.001 of Uranium as a peace offering?
I need boyfriend 💋💋💋💋💋💞💞💞💞
then aljazeera will spend all time to aplologize for the many people it killed !
Oh. So Kim Jong Un is not in a coma or dead. Can’t the fake news get their stories straight?
“Ah, ummm, ‘sorry’ …, for the shooting bit,” a post-mortem “apology”.
Like I said, this Kim is different.
…so the missing south korean official had been found…dead by north north korean…it’s funny
Look killing someone because you suspect they might be coming into North Korea to spread the Corona Virus can be sound. The apology can actually be a sincere mistake noted by him
Very good kim jo un apologize to South Korea you are changing i hope you are new a peace leader
He “apologised” for killing a South Korean? I mean, he does it every single day in the prison camps with his own citizens.
Apology doesnot matter he should compensate the victim family
well it is not convinced that the south korean officer tried to move to NK
..
i’m south korean and even s koreans don’t know the truth
it’s possible that he have been kidnapped as well or whatever
He was spy I guess 😶
As he is growing up he is becoming a gentlemen…even after a cool blooded murder…
He still alive ?
Kim Jong Un apologized? OMG! This double looks exactly like him.
So I kill someone and I say sorry and all is forgiven 😂
I forgive him 🥰
So wait, he *is* alive then?
2:32 I like that😍💋 💝💖❤️
Oh well.. he wanted to go to the north .
He ended the issue with “Very Sorry”.
Why would a person living in south Korea want to defect to North Korea?
Sometimes if you are at the brink of economic crisis some people hmgo to the north to just give up their life altogether.
Apologies is enough.? Just like that..?
Historical moment in north korea as their leader apologize for a South Korean man
2020 is interest Covid-19💉 and Kim apologies 🙄
The most dumbest president of South Korea.
Nice 36:14 🍌🍌🍌🍌
Kim jong un was an Imposter .
This shows that N.korea is more developed and better than S.korea ( As he was trying to defect to N.korea)
Kudos american media you have failed to brainwash me haha
Not developed but developing. Any defector who goes to the north just want to be a pro dictator kind of guy.
@Ali Mohammad yea I think N.korea is more developed than S.korea cause maybe I don’t believe in american media
Very fake sorry ya! 🙄
Let’s war!!
Few weeks ago , a north korean crossed the border into the south and got in trouble with the law in the south , by attacking south korean women. He was arrested and having coronavirus was sent back to north korea , where he was arrested . Kim Jung Un talked about that , it was the only case of corona virus in the north. The south koreans tried to contaminate the north, because the defector got coronavirus in the south. The south always trying to distabilized the north in conjuction the CIA .
No needs to be wonder it’s 2020 anything is possible
Why are his pants so big !
Kim maybe got a new heart transplantation
South Korea sent a spy. KJU apologizes for killing their spy knowing he was a spy. probably laughing behind the scenes.
What kind of bs are they pulling. Kim is not with us and he never apologizes for killing people.
Who divided Korean ??? Is it part of divide and rule policy
😭
தலைவனுக்கு சாவே இல்லை
Appolgy given. Boarders are of great concern.
Perhaps a token to the family of the lost
The statement from North Korea also a “new development” *I did not state I agree or disagree*
Asking China to attempt no longer available
Does Kim(unisex name Gail maybe panda) sorry North Korea no disrespect intended. And his first Lady welcomed children. And again for security apology for such a personal question.
Okay so kim is alive!
I actually hope that you’ll be unified too. But just don’t end up being a threat to my homeland, Japan.
God is watching who is evil who is wicked and the time will come they will all be judge by the Almighty God
WHY DONT WE SEE KIM JONG UN MAKING HIS TALKING POINTS.?
He should allow travel between the two countries then and stop shooting people!
It was prank
Korean lives matter
Kim jong un is the North Korea’s changez Khan.
Tout est pardonné
2020 is crazy AF
He will kill more and apologize.
Repentance is beautiful.
